Very good book. Well-written, tight and with a very fast pacing. It's also a standalone, in case you are a bit tired with long trilogies.

What I liked:

Vivid worldbuilding: The small village Agniezka lives in, the Dragon's tower and the Wood are great. The Wood, specially.

Great "villain": The Wood is an unstoppable force of nature, unrelenting and unforgiving. Twisted, mysterious and dark. Imagine if forests or trees had magical powers or at least the same level of consciousness of this Wood.

It is good to discover a very gifted writer, that creates a believable fantasy world.

Lots of misteries: why does the Dragon (a sorcerer) chooses a girl each ten years to live wih him in the tower. And, why these girls, after this time, just come back to say goodbye and never more come back ?

Would Agnieszka and the Dragon be able to beat the corruption ?

What is the Wood ? Where does it strength comes from ?

Lots of questions and all answered in the end :-) A book to read and reread to reinterpret

5 bright stars. Speechless. It was a complete surprise. I did not expect much when I started and found a stunning fantasy book. The magic system is very beautiful, visceral and poetic. Agnyeshkah is everything and a little more. The romance is subtle and realistic... Everything was perfect, including Sarkan ;)

A relação entre a fantasia e os contos de fadas sempre foi muito próxima. Desde as fábulas passando pelos contos cautelares até a chegada de Tolkien com seus épicos de proporções universais existia sempre essa interconexão entre os dois gêneros. Em Enraizados, Naomi Novik foi muito inteligente ao explorar essa conexão de uma forma sutil, mas não menos eficiente em uma história que mescla amor, união, respeito à natureza e feridas não cicatrizadas. Tudo isso aliada a uma prosa calma e detentora d ...more

eu levei um dia p ler o ultimo capítulo simplesmente pq não queria dizer adeus!
livro lindo!!!!

Um dos livros mais doidos, lindos e imagéticos da minha vida, soroco. Provavelmente é uma leitura que devo retomar daqui uns anos, pois tem muita coisa não dita, muita imagem bem construída e muitas sutilezas entre os personagens. Logo no começo da leitura me peguei pensando n"O castelo Animado" da Diana Wynne Jone — outro livro fuderoso de fantasia, escrito por mulher, com magos temperamentais e plots twists — e isso me deixou preocupada, já que, cara, a Diana é simplesmente a mestra do gênero. ...more

Um mago que protege uma vila de uma floresta que avança sem parar. A cada dez anos ele desce de sua torre e leva uma das meninas da região. O que acontece com ela depois ninguém sabe, mas elas nunca mais se encaixam na sociedade e nunca permanecem na vila por muito tempo.

É como um conto Grimm moderno, te leva a um novo sistema de magia, com um cenário de vila a beira da floresta que é perfeito. Não deixa a história desacelerar e tem sempre algo acontecendo que te faz querer virar mais uma página

4.5 stars.

This is an amazing book - and one I would recommend going into blindly. So, I will only say this: if you like well constructed stories and unique folklore tales, you will definitely like this.
